I. cervical headache
Cervical headache is the most common organic headache in clinic. Most of them have laborious and limited cervical movement, neck pain or tenderness near the cervical spine. Patients with a long headache have tenderness in the pain area of the head. When the headache occurs, they often have symptoms of eye discomfort.
Clinically, most cervical spondylosis can cause headaches. There are great individual differences in the activity of cervical spine, which is related to age, occupation, exercise, etc. Generally, with the increase of age, the neck activity is gradually limited, and is prone to cervical spondylosis. The middle-aged and elderly people often have pain in the posterior occipital region, and with the increase of age, the pain is more and more frequent, which needs to be paid attention to.
II. Drug induced headache
In some patients with chronic headache, the curative effect decreases after taking painkillers for a long time, so that patients have to gradually increase the dosage. The more medication, the shorter the headache relief, the more medication, but the headache is more and more serious. This headache caused by the improper use of drugs for headache is called drug-induced rebound headache, which is related to the interference of excessive drugs.
III. exercise headache
It often occurs during exercise or physical labor. The pain is generally located in the temporal parts on both sides. It can be relieved after rest and attack again after exercise. This headache is an important sign of myocardial ischemia. If you don't rest and treat in time, it will induce myocardial infarction and sudden death. This kind of headache should be rested and treated immediately.
IV. brain tumor headache
Headache caused by brain tumor has its special characteristics. The degree of pain does not fluctuate each time, but it will become more and more serious. With the passage of time, the pain becomes more and more severe. Exercise, wriggling, coughing, sneezing, weight lifting, etc. will aggravate the pain. Lying down can be relieved.

Chronic post-traumatic headache has no obvious characteristics, local tenderness, accompanied by depressive symptoms, tinnitus or emotional changes. Post traumatic headache is related to the disorder of cerebral vasomotor regulation and the disorder of cerebrospinal fluid circulation to a certain extent, and mental and psychological factors also play a very important role.
Vi. tension headache
This is a very common headache. It often occurs repeatedly, and there are obvious inducing factors before the attack, such as high pressure, tension, anxiety and so on. During the attack, the headache can spread to the neck, shoulder and back, showing mild and moderate pain. When the pain is numb, stiff and tight.
VII. Headache caused by intracranial diseases
① intracranial hematoma, severe headache may occur in conscious patients due to craniocerebral hemorrhage and increased intracranial pressure, which is usually accompanied by a history of hypertension or trauma;
② intracranial space occupying lesions, the location of headache is related to the location of space occupying lesions;
③ for acute epidural or subdural hematoma, the degree of headache is consistent with the increase of intracranial pressure when the patient is awake. Headache may be accompanied by systemic symptoms, such as increased pulse rate and sweating;
④ subarachnoid hemorrhage can cause sudden severe headache, accompanied by body weightlessness; In case of arteriovenous rupture, headache usually occurs within 60min after the rupture, accompanied by vomiting, unconsciousness, neck rigidity and other symptoms.
VIII. Cold febrile headache
It occurs at the beginning of a cold, with low fever or no fever, but obvious headache, accompanied by muscle pain and joint pain, or nasal congestion, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, etc.

X. sinusitis headache
All kinds of sinusitis, especially chronic sinusitis, can cause headache, which is often aggravated when blowing your nose hard. The location of the lesion is different, and the location of the headache is also different. If frontal sinus disease changes, there will be tenderness above the eyes and below the forehead during headache; If the forehead lesion is above, the cheeks and maxillary teeth will be painful. The obvious symptom of sinusitis is that the head is swollen all day, like a balloon. When I was ready to go to bed at night, I suddenly felt like a deflated balloon. I felt the mucus in my nose dripping slowly into my throat, causing a cough.
Xi. Adolescent headache
Most of them are young women. Before the attack, there are often signs of Venus in the eyes, dizziness, heartbeat, sweating, numbness of hands and feet and so on.

The treatment is mainly to overcome the bad mentality, be broad-minded, optimistic, participate in more recreational and sports activities, and properly cooperate with the treatment of sedative pain drugs.
Headache during pregnancy
Headache of pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy is mostly seen in the occipital frontal part, accompanied by irritability and insomnia, followed by nausea, vomiting and chest tightness. This is a serious phenomenon of high blood in pregnancy, suggesting that the mother and baby are in danger. It is mainly because after the blood pressure rises, the mother's oxygen supply to the fetus decreases, resulting in fetal hypoxia, resulting in fetal growth retardation or asphyxia.
XIV. Trigeminal headache
This kind of headache often has acute, paroxysmal, electric shock like short-term sharp pain, and radiates to the face along the branch of unilateral trigeminal nerve, sometimes only for more than ten seconds, but it occurs repeatedly, several to dozens of times a day, which can be induced by eating, washing face and speaking.
XV. Summer headache
The heat is pressing. In order to dissipate heat and cool the human body, sweat glands lose a lot of water through the evaporation of sweat. If water is not supplemented in time at this time, the blood volume of the human body will be reduced, and the blood supply to the brain will be insufficient, resulting in headache. In summer, people are used to drinking cold drinks. Some people have a headache after drinking, which makes the submucosal blood vessels spasm. Although this spasm is short, it makes the brain can't stand the sudden interruption of blood flow and makes people have a headache. It is called cold drink headache.

Inflammation or cancer of eyes, nose, ears and teeth can cause headache. Such as otitis media, mastoiditis, rhinitis, sinusitis, pain in the forehead and nasal root; Chronic rhinitis or sinusitis causes post headache and neck headache.
XIX. Occipital neuralgia
It occurs in the distribution area of greater occipital nerve and lesser occipital nerve. Local nerves have inflammatory reaction and induce occipital neuralgia. It is mainly post headache, generally continuous pain, and may involve adjacent parts such as the neck and behind the ear. Local hyperalgesia can also be manifested as paroxysmal tingling and tenderness in the affected area.
XX. Headache related to vascular disease
About 30% of headache patients are related to the following two conditions.
① transient cerebral ischemia, especially posterior cerebral artery ischemia, is easy to occur.
② carotid artery or posterior cerebral artery, basilar artery, vertebral artery and other stenosis and obstruction are easy to occur in case of insufficient blood supply or ischemia. Moderate persistent and fluctuating headache occurred in the corresponding part of vascular disease.
1. When you have a headache, immerse your hands in a basin of hot water (keep the water temperature at about 60 ℃) for about 30 minutes. The headache will ease or disappear. This is because migraine is caused by congestion of cerebral blood vessels and compression of cerebral nerves. When the blood vessels in the hand expand and the blood flow gathers in the hand, the amount of cerebral vascular congestion will be relatively reduced, the blood vessel expansion will also be reduced, the compression will be reduced, and the pain will gradually disappear.
2. The raw white radish juice can be eradicated by dropping two drops in the nostrils (both nostrils) twice a day for 4 ~ 5 days. Avoid pepper and pepper.
